Quartet Records, in collaboration with EMI General Music Publishing, presents a remastered reissue of the beautiful, nostalgic Ennio Morricone score for the 1973 romantic drama QUESTA SPECIE D'AMORE, directed by Alberto Bevilacqua. The film is about Federico (Ugo Tognazzi), who is married to Giovanna (Jean Seberg), a rich and attractive woman who has guaranteed him an excellent social position. His father, Giuseppe, on the other hand, is an anti-fascist and works as a craftsman.

Following in the footsteps of his previous collaboration with Bevilacqua on LA CALIFFA, Morricone wrote a radiantly passionate score for QUESTA SPECIE D'AMORE, featuring one of his most heartfelt and profound love themes and beautiful variations on it. Another nostalgic theme, written for solo oboe, defines Federico's loneliness and the breakdown of his marriage.

The original album program was released on vinyl in 1973 by General Music. The same program had its first digital release by GDM on CD in 1993, paired with Morricone's score for MADDALENA. In 2000, Screen Trax issued an expanded edition in Italy. The first complete edition with all the music recorded by Morricone for the film was released solely in Japan by Verita Note in 2007, which was quickly sold out. This is a reissue of that release, supervised by Daniel Winkler and Claudio Fuiano, and entirely restored and remastered by Chris Malone from the original tapes. The package includes in-depth liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordonez.
